#my favorite thing is when balin is summoned from the ether to drop thorin lore while thorin stares in the middle distance

[re-bogwitch]

Balin: [Retelling the events of Battle of Moria, a great sense of pride and admiration in his tone as he recounts Thorin's noble deeds in war]

The Company: [Looks at Thorin in a new light of awe as he poses regally with his hands clasped behind his back, steadfast and contemplative - a leader, through and through]

Thorin: [Sweating bullets and feeling like he can't move now because all the attention is suddenly on him and tbh all he wanted to do was check out the view but now it would look so stupid if he moved away like it would be so awkward if he turned around and everyone was just staring at him but at least he looks cool?? does bilbo think he looks cool??]
